Planned Parenthood, the nation’s leader in baby killing, released their 2011-2012 annual report with a record amount of 333,964 babies aborted and a record breaking $542.4 million in tax payer money. That’s correct; you as a tax payer are paying for abortion! But let me get this correct, I thought the pro-life movement was doing everything they can to save “some” lives while working to end abortion in its entirety? I was beyond mistaken to believe this.

The report shows a record of $542 million in taxpayer funding and an all-time high of 333,964 abortions. Wait; did I just say all-time high? That’s right folks, the abortion rate is sky rocketing and that’s not including all the telemed abortions, abortions caused by the pill, etc. So in reality Planned Parenthood most likely contributed to 500,000 abortions in the past fiscal year. Keep in mind that the current statistic here in the United States is 1.2 million abortions a year. That means Planned Parenthood has performed half of those!

I am sure you all have heard the argument that passing legislation such as a sonogram bill is good because it will save “some” babies and that is better than none. If this argument is valid would the abortion rates not have gone down? Let’s face reality. Incremental legislation does not save lives!

When we pass incremental legislation all it does is force the abortion industry to find more effective and cost efficient ways to perform abortions. Today we have a huge problem with telemed abortions being performed and they have proven hard to regulate. So why did Planned Parenthood begin such? It’s simple really. As a result of legislation such as a 20 week abortion ban Planned Parenthood found a more effective way to perform abortions at a cheaper, more effective, and less messy way to perform.

Finally, let’s keep in mind that all incremental legislation often has a clause that permits abortion in the cases of incest and rape. Are not these children human? Of course they are! Whenever we pass legislation that essentially says, “and then you can kill the baby,” it is not pro-life!

So what is the solution to ending abortion? Sadly, the answer is something that the majority of the pro-life movement rejects. Insanity is defined as doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. The pro-life movement has been passing incremental legislation for 40 years and has accomplished little. The abortion rates continue to go up, not down, and abortion is still legal. The only way abortion will end is to stop compromising, and pass a human personhood amendment to the United State Constitution. Please stand with us.

Recently Executive Director of Teen Defenders, Jake Dagel posed as a 16-year-old girl, “Kayla,” and asked questions about the birth control pill. Planned Parenthood tells Kayla that the pill is “safe” and that there are “lots of benefits to taking birth control pills…it also reduces the risk of cancer of the ovary [and] cancer of the uterus…”

What the Planned Parenthood representative doesn’t mention is that there are a lot of risks associated with the pill, especially an increased likelihood of getting breast cancer. If Planned Parenthood boasts of giving people “factual” information, why aren’t they giving all of the facts?

We are raising money to open a Crisis Pregnancy Center in Brownsville. Our goal is to offer a caring, non-judgmental , loving place where women can go for help during a most trying time. And yes we are a Pro-Life organization. The center will provide a pregnancy test on request to any woman that asks for one. If the woman is pregnant, our counselors will provide our clients with information and assistance that will benefit the mother and baby, whether the mother decides to keep and raise her child or put the child up for adoption. We will never refer anyone to an abortion. The services will be provided to the community free of charge. We have a team of people ready to get to work to save lives and to help our community, Doctors, nurses, and everyday people are ready to help on a volunteer basis . But it takes money, to pay for supplies, pay for renovations to the building we have secured for the center, and of course to pay for the utilities. This is where you come in, you can make a difference in the lives of these women and their unborn child, you can see to it we open our doors and keep them open to be there for them. If you call yourself a person of God, then now is the time to live the faith. Help us help those of whom Lord said “Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, And before you were born I consecrated you;” How Can we not serve the consecrated and still call ourselves followers of Christ.
How can I help you ask? there are several ways to help.

Don’t live near Brownsville or cannot make it that day? That’s okay hold your own personal hike at your convenience and say a few prayers for the unborn.

We thank you in advance for your GENEROUS support
